Tina: come in.

In walks Marcus Allenwood.

Marcus: Ms. Kennard?

Tina: yes can I help you?

Marcus: yes I am the new family services lawyer hire to work with you on the Johnson case.

Tina: oh yes they told me you would be coming through today, how you do?

Marcus: im well and yourself?

Tina: I could be better, please have a seat.

Marcus: thank you

The whole day Tina and Marcus went over all the details of the case they will be handling.

Hours later…

Tina: well I think we have all the details in order, you know this is a trying case, it’s very hard to get a judge to take a child away from the mother.

Marcus: yes I’m aware, that’s why we need hard evidence to prove that she is unfit. I think we should try cracking the child and getting her to speak, that will be our biggest piece of information.

Tina: well I already tried and got nowhere, maybe you could do better, but I tell ya that lady got that child’s mouth zipped tightly.

Tina sighed.

Marcus: you know what how about we get out of here and have a drink, on me.

Tina looked intently at Marcus.

Tina: you know Marcus, I’m a married woman.

Marcus chuckled.

Marcus: that’s good because my girlfriend would love that very much.

Tina smiled at Marcus.

Tina: then shall we?

Marcus: we shall.

Marcus and Tina left the office and made their way over to a nearby bar.

The bar…

Marcus: so Ms. Kennard tell me about your husband that you are so adamant about.

Marcus smirked.

Tina: Well he and I have been married for about five years now and we have one daughter name Christina. He is a lawyer also over at the Standford Firm.

Marcus: Standford really, wow impressive.

Tina: yea…what about you?

Marcus: well Stacy and I have been together for a year now and I think it’s going pretty good, she is a pediatrician so we have the kids thing in common.

Tina: I see.

Tina and Marcus made conversation for about a hour.

Tina: well Marcus I really need to get out of here and I look forward to working with you.

Marcus: same here, you have a nice day Ms.Kennard.

Tina: you too

Tina waved and walked out the bar

Back at the dinner table…

Henry: so that’s all that happen today?

Tina: what do you mean honey?

Henry: nothing sweetie.

Henry decided to leave it alone for now even though his jealousy was raging in overdrive.

After dinner the family finished clearing up the table and decided to watch a movie together. During the movie Tina’s phone rung and she got up to answer it.

Tina: Hello?

Marcus: sorry to bother you Tina.

Tina: Marcus?

Marcus: yes I’m sorry but I seem to have grab some of your papers when gathering my things, I was wondering if you would like for me to drop them off by your office tomorrow morning or maybe I could fax them over.

Tina: oh no no tomorrow morning will be fine, thanks Marcus.

Marcus: sure no problem and im sorry about that again.

Tina: hey don’t worry about it, I see you at the office.

Marcus: ok good night

Tina hung up the phone and went back over to the couch to rejoin her family in movie time. Little did she know Henry was listening to the entire conversation and he was now fuming.

Henry: who was that?

Tina: oh that was the lawyer I told you that I’m working with, he seems to have grab my papers by mistake.

Henry: um hmm

The movie finish and Christie was already asleep.

Tina: I’m just gonna go lay her down, be right back honey.

Tina put Christie into bed and went back to the living room but Henry was no where to be found.

Tina: Henry?

No answer.

Tina thought maybe he went out to the store for something so she decided to go head and do her nightly routine and get into bed. 

Two hours later a drunken Henry comes stumbling through the door, yelling and shouting.

Henry: YOU WANT TO CHEAT ON ME, WELL I WILL SHOW YOU!..

Stay tuned for more Disturbance…
